EE Design Calcs: Mastery Expected? Textbook Examples?

[yucheng]

Looking through the Art of Electronics, I barely see any equations, mostly description.

However, checking out this video, we get a whole page of calculations.

Are the authors of AoE expecting that practitioners are already fluent in these design calculations? Are there examples of such calculations, in textbooks? Perhaps in more advanced monographs instead of general circuit theory books?

The 'Art of Electronics' becomes the 'science of electronics' when mathematics becomes involved.
Some people appreciate only the art, some understand the science, and some only the mathematics.
Each group requires a different approach.

I don't think so. The AoE is more of a broad introduction to many EE topics without going into a lot of depth. And one emphasis of the book is to expose many misconceptions that EEs can often have.

If you want a more in-depth EE learning resources, just look at typical textbooks for EE undergraduate courses.
